7-Dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) is a metabolic intermediate in cholesterol synthesis as well as an unsaturated sterol whose conjugated double bond on the sterol's B ring allows 7-DHC to take up free radicals, thereby counteracting the ability of free radicals to trigger lipid oxidation and iron death.
